Hi!

I'm Michael Esteban, a software engineer from Brisbane, Australia (where it is loading time...). I build software for researchers and small tools for very specific niches. Sometimes, I solder things that blink!

Fun Projects

001

Kind Wordle

A kinder version of Wordle that hands you the vowels.

002

Gemini Transcribe

Transcribe audio and video files with speaker diarization. I've been told it's particularly good when the audio contains multiple languages.

YouTube Summariser

Generate YouTube video summaries. Useful when a video catches your attention but you don't want to sit through 7 minutes to hear two useful things.

Create and download custom emoji. I think the main users are my friends' kids.
